No prob. Thanks Val. His honesty got him a key. Then I was looking to give out keys to anyone who shows a true passion / honesty and you got one too.

Obi gets one because he reserved / paid off the damn game and didn't get a key..

I have 1 more left for today ;).

DO NOT PM ME. Post in this thread and I'll choose one more. For today.... :p

[Sikh]

Sorry guys, Late on my part, but I got the keys out to you guys.

So Val, Obi and Scir check your pms and please let me know if it works.

I got one more key, till i get more, who wants this puppy? Dont pm me, post here.

I would ask for the key in some magically wonderful way. But rather than that I'll just ask for the key for my friend instead. He's way more into Starcraft than I am, and would appreciate getting into the beta way more than me (plus, he'd stop complaining every day about it heh). I don't know if that sounds more pathetic or not, but yes I'd give the key to my friend :)

Sounds like a few buddies I know, till one got accepted and the rest got keys since they had it reserved haha. Ill get you and your buddy a key.

Tomorrow, ok Loc?

[LOC Veteran]

Sure thing Sikh. You don't have to go out of your way to get me a key though if there are others here still asking for one (which I assume they will be lol).

[killmaster84]

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

He definitely is. His kindness is, by far, unparalleled.

Playing Starcraft II Beta has made me realize why I quit playing Starcraft in the first place. Sure, playing Starcraft in 1080p on my 46" LCD is a novelty, but after the fancy graphics wear off it's still mostly the same tired old game play.

Im sorry but this is just inaccurate... There is almost no real strategy from SC1 than can be ported into SC2. The balance blizzard found between new and familiar is absolutely perfect IMO.

Why change something that is near-perfect? The designer himself has said that the MP team isn't trying to be innovative (see here). They've tried adding a cover system like the one you see in Dawn of War II and that simply made the game slower. StarCraft's gameplay is about making your units dance around one another with push and pull moves.

Anyway, looks like we'll be seeing some classic Terran units in the Wings of Liberty campaign:

Am I the only person who despises Starcraft and attains no joy from playing the game. I mean I've stayed up for 3 hours to finish a 3v3 Company of Heroes game before, but I can't seem to play this game for 15 minutes without feeling bored.

I'm with you. I tried to get into it because 2 of my friends play it all the time, no go, it's so boring. On the other hand I LOVE AoE (1+2)! :wub:

i feel the same way about Halo (i'm probably the only person on earth who owns an xbox360 and doesn't play Halo)

it's just not your cup of tea

[Noveed]

Anyone else got any spare invites going? Would really appreciate one :)

[lalalawawawa]

Ye, if anyone has some spare key/s he/she won't use, I would really appreciate getting one. :)

tonight at 10pm cst, I'll give you a key. I'm basically ****ed off at blizzard for finally doing a beta test and NEVER invitng people in waves or ****. Yesterday there were 13,500 people on. Really? Come on blizzard.

A TRUE beta test would of invited a lot of people and kept doing it. I realized I've been opted in for 2 years or since the opt in opened and 4 friends were opted in, in the last "wave" and I realized updating your beta opt-in moves you in the system.. Because all my 4 friends got in and I didn't. Saw some post on various Starcraft forums and it came down to the admins saying any change to your beta opt in MOVES YOU TO THE END. WTF.

So who ever can't get a key I am willing to provide. I want passionate people not stupid WOW players who don't even care about this game. IMO wow players are stupid so you wow players don't take it offensive I just don't like wow players in general.

Anyway unless you can reserve the game I'll give you a key.

Also it helps people are being honest with me so in my book honesty wins. Also passion for the game haha.

I'll be getting 10 more keys tomorrow. So 10 more lucky honest passionate neowianians get a key tomorrow.

ALSO to the people that added me, please give me your tag because SC doesn't send out invites.

My tag is Sikh.sikh. Feel free to add me and give memyour addy. That also means VAL, OBI WONG and everyone else i gave a key ready.

That's besides anaron, he gave me his addy, but he's still a n00b ;)

[Razorwing]

Can I get a key? lol. :whistle:

edit: wow the Firebat looks exactly like the Maurader. lol.

[killmaster84]

@Sikh would it be possible to get a key, would allow some friends and I to try out the game before we make a two hour trip to pre-order it.

Honesty?

Well, I am a WoW player, yes, but I've been playing Blizzard's games ever since Blackthorne, way, way back. Also, I've spent countless hours playing Starcraft and Warcraft 3 LAN matches throughout the years.

Personally, I don't like what Blizzard are doing to the Warcraft universe with WoW, but we can always hope for Warcraft 4. :)

If you can give me a key, I would really appreciate it. :)

[shawnTHEboi]

Any keys available for starving students with way too much student loan debt?? Haha...Need something to keep my mind off my pending law school admission decision. :unsure:

[Sikh]

Shane, kav, kill and razor you guys will get a key tomorrow.
